btmon - Bluetooth monitor
Usage:
btmon [options]
options:
-r, --read <file> Read traces in btsnoop format
-w, --write <file> Save traces in btsnoop format
-a, --analyze <file> Analyze traces in btsnoop format
If gnuplot is installed on the
system it will also attempt to plot
packet latency graph.
-s, --server <socket> Start monitor server socket
-p, --priority <level> Show only priority or lower
-i, --index <num> Show only specified controller
-d, --tty <tty> Read data from TTY
-B, --tty-speed <rate> Set TTY speed (default 115200)
-V, --vendor <compid> Set default company identifier
-M, --mgmt Open channel for mgmt events
-K, --kernel Open kmsg for kernel messages
-t, --time Show time instead of time offset
-T, --date Show time and date information
-S, --sco Dump SCO traffic
-A, --a2dp Dump A2DP stream traffic
-I, --iso Dump ISO traffic
-E, --ellisys [ip] Send Ellisys HCI Injection
-P, --no-pager Disable pager usage
-0, --print0 Separate frames with a NUL, for a
pager reading records
-J --jlink <device>,[<serialno>],[<interface>],[<speed>]
Read data from RTT
-R --rtt [<address>],[<area>],[<name>]
RTT control block parameters
-C, --columns [width] Output width if not a terminal
-c, --color [mode] Output color: auto/always/never
-h, --help Show help options
